you don’t false grip pull-ups?

Sometimes, sometimes full grip. Sometimes neutral grip. Sometimes bodyweight, sometimes weighted.

happy born day! more life (& mediterranean sandwiches/vegan cookies ) to you chief!

My wife was just throwing mad fat people snacks at me I didnt ask for. 1 year older means no room for sloppiness. Doing some stretching and core exercises after work to get ready for training in the morning.

Long story so

Spoiler

Still an even more condensed version lol
Basically one day I just woke up and my knee was the size of a grapefruit and I was in the worst pain of my life. months go by and I still don’t go to the doctor because I thought it would pass but I got to the point where I could barely walk, I didn’t have the strength to kick my bed sheet up anymore. I had to go up and down stairs 1 at a time. Moving my foot from the gas pedal to the brake was painful..I was taking like 800-1000mg of ibuprofen just to be able to get around.. more months pass after going to PT and now the same thing spread to a few of toes and my thumb. Turns out it’s rheumatoid arthritis caused by a very mild case of psoriasis I’ve always had.. leading up to this point in my life I was super stressed, depressed, anxious, and I was having really bad stomach problems, which I know now were all warning signs and contributing factors to it. 1 out of 3 people who have psoriasis get RA, it’s something that might have happened to me later in life but even with my very mild case, due to my mental and physical state leading up to it I’m not surprised it happened.
I have it under control now but it’s something chronic I’ll unfortunately most likely always be dealing with. This all started at the end of 2018 into 2019, knock on wood the worst times are in the past

I lost everything athletic during this period. all my strength, stamina, balance, flexibility, etc. Gone.
but I’ve been back in the gym for almost a year now and I’m happy with my progress. I was basically starting from zero. I need to do like yoga and plyometric stuff

I completely get how pro athletes just suddenly lose “it”. Like I fully get Fernando Torres now [\spoiler]

Real talk, coming from someone who has had 7 knee surgeries due to 3 ACL tears, with the last one being ACL, MCL, LCL, and meniscus and now also has arthritis because of it at the age of 35, hop on some Celebrex if your Dr. ok's it for you. During my last recovery which ended up taking three years (it was from the major knee injury with multiple ligaments), I just woke up one day and felt completely different. It's like I went to bed without arthrities and the next morning I woke up with it and it completely messed up my recovery and prolonged it. Ended up getting PRP and stem cell injections during the process and now am on Celebrex (which I only take every other day and not on the weekends) and feel amazing. I too am limited with what I "should" be doing for leg workouts (mainly no squats) but getting on that medication has really made my day to day and active lifestly feel closer to what it did before this last injury. Definitely stay away from the painkillers though if you can.

i don't typically use stimulants anyway but haven't had any caffeine in a little over a month now...hitting PRs regardless tho

eat a good meal before/in preparation of a session and it's all gucci basically

Gloves >>>>>>

she aint letting you anywhere near the cat with these

 

[deusavertat]

Unless you tryna get a big bertha who works on a farm in Mississippi, there's nothing appealing about having jacked up hands. If women want signs of being broken, my lower back, knee and shoulder pain should be enough.

That reddit post is nasty as hell..

 

[Tank Top Master]

I do typically use stimulants anyway but have almost daily caffeine for a little less than a decade now...hitting PRs regardless tho.

Drink a good #Powda before/in preparation of a session and it's all gucci basically.

Same.

 

[deusavertat]

We did like 30+ minutes of running and military style drills today before we even started training...and even the training was all positional live drills. Dude was tryna kill us. Some of the less in shape dudes looked like they were about to pass out.

love weighted pullups incorporated them last year and my back gains took off

In all seriousness, I went back through the old bodybuilding forums and the caffeine free pre workout I kept seeing recommended was PES High Volume.

Great workout day. Did 2 hours of biking, rows and stairmaster, before back and biceps. Will be extra fit for BJJ training in the morning.

 

[deusavertat]

I got some great taps on some blue belts this morning during live rolls. I mean they were all smaller/weaker and one was a girl, but a win is a win.

Two scoops is weaker than I **** I step on the platform with. Four scoops will either have me PR, in the hospital, and/or training with Piccolo n'dem in the next dimension.

Put up the money for it or send me a tub and I will.

If not, shut the **** up because you ain't running **** outchea, bruh.
